The Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) allows charitable organizations to solicit contributions from employees of the Federal Government of the United States.

The CFC is the largest workplace charity campaign in the United States and the only campaign authorized to solicit and collect contributions from federal employees in the workplace on behalf of charitable organizations.

Nearly four million federal employees and military personnel are able to contribute to the charities of their choice during the annual charity drive, which runs from September 1 through December 15 of each year. Pledges made by Federal civilian, postal, and military donors during the campaign season support eligible non-profit organizations such as Greenpeace. These contributions can be made either by cash or check, or can be automatically deducted from employee's paychecks.
